Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 47563 covers

A surgeon removes the gallbladder through laparoscopic ports and performs cholangiography during the operation, commonly by introducing contrast through the cystic duct to image the biliary tree. This approach is used for conditions such as symptomatic gallstones or cholecystitis when the surgeon also evaluates duct anatomy or possible common bile duct stones. The procedure is typically performed in a hospital operating room or ambulatory surgery center.

Report 47563 when the laparoscopic gallbladder removal includes cholangiography; use 47562 when cholangiography is not performed. Documentation should support the laparoscopic approach, gallbladder removal, and the cholangiographic study. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the 90-day global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this single-gallbladder procedure. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
